I Can’t See My Feet! (or, All I Got for Christmas is FAT)

As pet sitters we are frequently asked questions concerning pet health. Here’s a good one we discussed with a client recently:

Q: What are some games I can play with my cat to get him moving?

A: Cats are predators, and the way to get them to play is to let them use their hunting talents. Buy toys and then use them to copy the movements of animals a cat would love to hunt – mouse, bird, lizard, rabbit, bug.

Take a laser pointer and skitter it across the floor like a bug.

Get a wand toy that looks like a bird and pretend to land and take off. But don’t just flap it around. Think like a bird!

It’s all pretend play, but try to make it as real as possible for your cat.

We are NOT a rescue (we are a Petsitting and Dog Walking Company) but we are a passionate team of animal lovers..... and when we heard about a couple of puppies that were abandoned in the cold in Monroe over the weekend, we knew we had to act. We reached out to our many rescue partners for help and when we got the word they could help.......we drove immediately in between our client appointments and scooped them up. One of our amazing employees is temp fostering them.

We are sharing this because rescues are very full this time of year and endure costly medical expenses and these puppies will both need surgery for a condition known as Cherry eye. We will be following the law and reporting them to animal control but for now they are safe and warm in a loving foster home.

We want to share the wonderful rescue that so graciously made this possible. Ollie's Rescue in NY. If you have a few dollars to throw their way, we would be so grateful. Please let them know it is for the NC puppies (Holly & Dani). That's what we have named them. :) They are approximately 2-3 months old. They will go to NY and be up for adoption once they are healthy.

Please consider liking their page and supporting their cause to save abandoned and unwanted animals.

Not everyone is in a position to help animals but we all are in a position not to harm them. We can all do our part in little ways.
